Instead of prohibiting TL0 from posting links, you could also reduce the `Newuser max links` site setting to 1. This could prevent the 2-link problem while allowing the sharing of one link.

New user limitations can be a little annoying for new members, as you noticed when you wanted to post more images.

This is true, but even those who manage a Discourse forum usually complain instead of spending a few minutes reading.
